To format a memory card

To use a card to exchange data
with a digital device such as a
digital camera, formatting the
data using the digital device is
recommended.
When you try to use a card, which
is formatted in the computer, in
another digital device, you may
have to format the card again in
the device.
You cannot format, write or delete
data from a SD, or SDHC card
with a write protection tab when it
is in the Lock position.
Inserting and removing a memory
card repeatedly may damage the
memory card.
